Batch 8,000 Ale

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear golden, average head. Heavy coriander and banana aroma. Sweet, dense and full bodied. Notes of candy sugar and lemon grass, but most of all a concentrated flavour of orange marmelade. Powerful, but a bit sticky. Never quite figured why to make a fat ass witbier, but I quite like the beer.

Bottled
Clear orange-amber color, not much head. Orange peel, spices, hops in the nose. Medium to full bodied. Orange peels, vanilla, some caramel, banana and backing alcohol. Some hops too. Fizzy carbonation, warming wheat beer. After beer warms up, you can pick some honey.

Bottled. Rating #1,400!! Sure smells like a wit, but looks more like an abbey dubbel. Dark orange body under a thin head. Not wit hazy, but swirling with the usual galaxy of Bell floaties. Taste is indeed of a slightly spiced up dubbel. Coriander is there, and the orange. But I say the malt has its own orangey character, too, with caramel malts lording it over the wheat base. Kind of rough right now, despite the label’s suggestion, this might settle with a little age. May need to test this against the 2006 Wheat Love. Found this at Tenuta’s in Kenosha, Wisc.

Bottle courtesy of CBA: Poured a dirty hazy beige color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma is dominated by coriander and orange peels notes and is very enjoyable. Taste is a heavy mix of orange peels, coriander and huge wheat malt notes with some medium sweetness. Body is full with some limited filtration and some great carbonation and alcohol was not apparent at all. Very well done and another fine beer form this great brewery.

Bottle. Cloudy amber with a large white head. Sweet alcohol in the nose, with peach and other fruit. Flavor is alcohol, banana, and other fruit.

Bottle at Brickseller, Washington DC
Hazy light amber color; nice perlage; persistent head. Delicate aroma, a bit spicy and fruity (oranges and banana), closer to the German wheat style than the Belgian. Full body, very sweet, with some wheat, light spices, light orange peel. Good but easy.

Lemon cream and nutmeg aroma. Cloudy amber, thinnish head. Medium body, cloves, orange, and orange peel. A little soapy. Subdued coriander finish which gets a little rancid during warming for some reason. Alcohol is not the least bit noticeable.

Bottle Pours out a hazy light orange topped with a nice off white head. Very nice aroma of yeast and nice spice. Tast was sweet and spice. Thanks Jake.
